As the National Conference of Visitor Attractions moves online for the first time in 2020, our Founding Director, Anthony Rawlins will be aptly presenting on the impact of COVID-19 on the digital shift in attraction marketing and how to plan for the year ahead.
Organised for the industry, by the industry, VAC 2020 VIRTUAL is a leading networking event for Visitor Attractions to share insight, data and cutting-edge technology at a time when our businesses need it most and we’re pleased to be their principal sponsor.
